Through CEG, patient data from the NHS North East London region provides the foundation for life-saving research, tools and initiatives with local, national and international impact.
CEG is a trusted broker of primary care data. We began as a grass roots initiative and, over the last 30 years, we have proven the value of our local GP practices sharing data with us. Practices have benefitted through vast improvements in quality and outcomes for their patients and through increased income as a result of meeting their indicators.
CEG is part of Queen Mary University of London and complies with its Information Governance policies: Queen Mary Information Governance.
CEG completes the NHS Digital Data Security and Protection Toolkit assessment each year and is fully compliant.
CEG conforms to all requirements of the information standards that underpin national healthcare initiatives from the Department of Health, NHS England, the Care Quality Commission and other national health organisations.
CEG designs, builds, deploys and maintains the following tools for use in primary care:
CEG has a Clinical Safety Report that sets out the risks and management of these tools: Clinical Safety Report for CEG Clinical Tools 2019 [PDF 250KB]. The tools we build do not replace the need for clinical judgement.

Before downloading CEG software tools, we request some personal information via request forms hosted on our website. The information includes name, email address, role, organisation name and organisation type. We do this to audit the numbers and types of organisations that use our tools, and so we can inform users if a serious error is identified with our tools.
Our governance policies are under constant review to ensure accuracy and compliance.
